ActionScript 3.0 :: Load XML Locally From A Server
Aug 13, 2009
I'm writing a simple application and at some point I want to load some XML. The problem is that I don't want to pull that XML from a server but define it locally. So far the only solution I have found is something like this:
[Code]...
The problem is that there are several XML variables that I need and each one is of noticeable size. Is there a way I can include an XML file in my swf witch I can access and get my data from at runtime?
I'm converting a several-years-old all-Flash site for a friend. I can activate the site in any browser if all the files are stored on my local drive but when I FTP the files to a server and try to launch, I get an error indicating either that the server has timed out or that the process is taking too long. I suspect the problem is in the index.html file which refers to some very old locations where the Flash Player is probably no longer obtainable, but I'm not sure. [Code] .....
I have made a XMLloader with URLrequest, and it works locally by calling the file directly by its name ie. "myFile.swf". var presLoader:Loader = new Loader(); presLoader.load(new URLRequest("myFile.swf")); addChild(presLoader);
But when I uploaded the loader to the server, I have no file, only "URL not found"-error. So I found out that I should change to URL to "/Files/Images/subloader/myFile.swf" then it will load. But thats a real problem, because I have several loaders.
I have a SWF (1.8mb) which I placed onto my HTML page using Dreamweaver, and set to autoplay. When I save the file and open it in Firefox/Safari, the movie plays as expected. But when I uploaded the files to my hosting server, the movie doen't appear (not even a box where it should be - just nothing but blank space where it should be). I've made sure that I uploaded the SWF, the HTML file, the expressInstall.swf, and the swfobject_ modified. js file. I also changed the permissions to allow executable scripts. I don't have a Flash blocker installed.[code]
I developed an app that ran fine locally and on the web. However, this morning I noticed that it will not play properly on my PC, but will on the web, or in a Director projector. It is an AS2 slide presentation, that loads xml content. Everything was working fine locally until today. It seems to load the content fine but won't call methods any longer... Again everything works fine on the web or in a projector.
I'm working on a website ([URL] - don't think the flash file can be seen in FF yet) and I want to load an swf-file with some illustrations and such. As this could get a little big, I have made another swf-file which shows a preloader and loads the first swf-file. The preloader works perfectly when tested in Flash CS3, but when uploaded to and tried on my webhost's server, the preloader doesn't load anything. Instead it of the load-percentage it just writes "NaN". You can find the as3-code down below. The preloader-swf and the swf to be loaded are located in the same folder. Both are as3.
This is the code from my as-class file: package classes{ // Imports necessary classes import flash.display.MovieClip; import flash.text.TextField; import flash.events.Event; [Code] .....
So I have an html file with a swf in the center which loads pictures and text via XML. It works fine on my own computer but on the actual site it doesn't load the pictures or text it, in any browser.
1.How do I connect to the Admin Console through a static ip remotely as I will not have access to the machine locally?
2.I want to stream live audio and do audio on demand, how do I do this?3.How to I embed a music player in a webpage that can stream live audio or the audio on demand?
I have an issue with swf file on ubuntu web server. I built my whole site locally and everything was fine. When I upload my site on my Ubuntu server and tried to see my site from my local browser, the swf file not loaded properly. It just shows the main image and is like AS3 don't runs.
There is a number of posts but no solution to this issue. I am using alducente web service class to make SOAP calls to a WS from flash and it works perfect in the Flash IDE. When I publish to my server it just hangs.
I have a crossdomain file allowing all headers and domains etc. no luck.
i inherited an old as2 mp3 player. i'm trying to read id3.artist from the mp3 playing. it gets it and displays fine locally but as soon as i put it on a server it always returns 'undefined'. do i need some kind of a security file or something to read the id3 info?
There was always a flash movie on the homepage and it worked fine. A couple days ago I replaced the movie with a new one and added a .swf to the portfolio page as well. On the portfolio page, the movie is layered behind a series of transparent .pngs that link to their corresponding lightbox designations. The movie just plays, there isn't any interaction this way, atleast not in flash.
The problem: Everything works perfectly fine locally on all browsers and not at all on the server across all browsers. I have seen this problem before and read alot of posts about it.I know I have the proper scripts files. I've re-saved flash movies, changed their location within the site, published them with the appropriate settings, nothing seems to do the trick. Whats worse is that the lightbox doesn't even work online and it runs fine locally. Infact you cant even click on the .pngs and they aren't positioned the same with the css as they are viewed locally. I've overwritten the css with the up-to-date stylesheet many times as well
I'm using BulkLoader to load a single XML, parsing this, extracting out a list of images on another server (amazon), adding them to BulkLoader and loading them in.
this all works great running in the Flash IDE but as soon as it's uploaded the xml loads, parses BulkLoaders starts but non of the images load.
I assume it's a security issue but linking to these images from the local or from a html page works fine just not from Flash from a server.
I created the movie in a new folder, so I owuld have all the files... fss.html, fss.swf and MinimaFlatCustomColorPlayBackSeekCounterVolMute.swf I uploaded all these to the server.....
I'm making this small app in Flash CS5 using AS3. Sounds are being reproduced using flash.media.Sound and flash.media.SoundChannel. Locally , everything sound perfect, but when I run the game from a server it just goes mute.
Mainly because I have it ALWAYS working locally, when I test in a browser, but the moment I deploy to a server it stops working.
I've added trace commands and confirmed that ExternalInterface is in fact available before adding the callback, and an alert command in the javascript method correctly identifies the flash object. I also checked and allowscriptaccess is set to 'always'.
Could it have something to do with the flash being served on a remote server?
The same code was working fine on lighttpd and apache, recently i switched to nginx and the app started crashing when I run it localy however it runs fine with the same code inside a browser.Here is the source code that makes a request to the server.
public function ApiCall(methodName:String,params:Object=null) { super();
[code]....
The flash player just crashes without any meaningfull error message.I checked on the php side and the $_POST array is empty for some reason.
is there anyway to store a file(an XML in this case) locally on a computer WITHOUT using a PHP server running on the computer. Im develpoing an application for both Mac OS and windows so it needs to be a solution that will work for both.
Im not sure whether its possible but I have been trying to load an xml from my webserver, and do a few bits with it. I cant get the xml to load locally it works fine on my server so I assume its some kind of security issue.
I have tried numerous attempts at converting flash files to HTML5 with Swiffy -- and they all work great in a browser running locally, but when I put the HTML file that is exported on a server (I tried two separate ones, just in-case it was some server configuration) they do not run, it gives a blank white screen.
I tried saving the file down to Flash 5 export, and changed settings and they work locally but not when placed on a server. I tried converting several flash files all with different animations, and I get the same results -- it works locally but not on a server.
Im trying to load xml files on another domain on mine. This code works locally but not when i post it to my server. Can you explain what im doing wrong?[code]
I have one .swf that loads a second one on level 2.level 2 then in turn loads variables from a text file .The problem is that it works locally, but refuses to work on the server. The urls are all local. This is such a simple procedure, I can't figure out what is wrong..... are there limitations doing this via server vs. locally? I never get any "file open" errors locally. I've spent 2 hours on this.... I'm just using a simple LoadVars similar to this example:
Code: loadText = new LoadVars(); loadText.load("text3.txt");
I'm new to AS & Flash, but not programming in general. I've got a project where I'm needing to use embedded fonts. To save the size of my main .swf, I've been using the Loader class to import .swf files with the fonts embedded at runtime. The "font library" .swf files contain just the embedded font, and in frame 1 have
I package an IPA file including some assets (images). Once installed, I want to load an image in my swf: which is the path of this image? How can I load it?
I want a user running a Flash game on his machine (not from a server) to be able to save some game data locally.From what I've read, there still isn't any way to do this, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone knows a sneaky xml or php work around.
